The creators of The Side Project, a Los Angeles-based screening series that features the side-projects, personal work, and “labors of love” of both established and emerging filmmakers, would seem to agree. Founded by Alison Williams of Raconteur and Joe DiSanto of Therapy Studios, The Side Project is approaching its fourth happening: an evening mixer, screening, and panel discussion on “Women Behind the Camera: Female Creativity in Film.” (The list of panelists is impressive, including the likes of Elizabeth Kilpatrick, VP of Development, Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media; Maggie Chieffo, General Manager, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls; and Destri Martino, Director/Editor and Founder of The Director List.)

We'd like to give a huge thank you to our sponsors for The Side Project Series No. 4 | WOMEN BEHIND THE CAMERA: FEMALE CREATIVITY IN FILM. This is our largest screening to date, and we appreciate the support of these partners in recognizing such an important topic:

NOTE THE NEW DATE! TSP No. 4 will be held on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6 at 6:00 PM.

We are so pleased to announce that TSP No. 4 | Women Behind The Camera will be at a new location, WEWORK in Culver City. We are so grateful for the support of WEWORK and their amazing spaces and people in supporting this event.

Submissions are currently open for THE SIDE PROJECT'S fourth event! We will be accepting work by female directors and creatives, in the form of a feature film (of which we will show a clip), a short film, a music video, branded content, or a commercial...basically anything video goes. Send your work to submissions@thesideprojectseries.com.
